    I love refreshers. I love biting in to them and tasting the sweet taste of the sherbet. One of my all time favourite sweets ever

    Refreshers take me back to when I was a kid! I always used to get them from the Fruit and Veg van that came round the neighbourhood when my Gran used to pick up her groceries!
    So whenever I eat refreshers now (fifteen years on), they just remind me of my Granny! <3

    Whenever I have refreshers they remind me of when I was younger and used to go to the little local sweet shop (sadly closed years ago) for a 10p mix bag, there always used to be a refresher chew in there and I always saved it until all the other sweets had gone.Save the best until last. Yummmmmmmmmmm

    These were my faves when i was little. And i still love them as the big kid that i am now! Much better than some of the sweets that were around, and lasted longer than them as well. Love the flavour and love that they had sherbet in them. Wouldn’t mind winning some, if not, oh well! :D

    I remember chewing on these, making your mouth feel all tingly because of the sherbet. Then my jaws began to ache and the sweet getting all stuck to my teeth. But alas, i still could not resist them!

  17. Reminds me of my childhood ages and ages ago. I must confess that when my twins happen to have these in their party bags they tend to miraculously disappear. Sorry, just too tempting! If I do win will share, promise :)

    One of the few sweets still around that instantly make you think of day trips to the beach with your mates, and playing marbles in the school yard, IF ONLY LIFE COULD BE THAT SIMPLE AGAIN…
